Addendum #2 To

Request For Proposal For

Design Services Master Plan,

Plans and Specifications and Historic Landscape Plan for the Yamasaki Reflecting Pool at the National Register Listed Prentis Building and DeRoy Auditorium Complex

Dated March 2, 2012

The Addendum must be acknowledged on your lump sum bid.

NOTE: You must have attended a pre-bid conference in order to be eligible to bid on a particular project. Receipt of minutes or addenda without being at a pre-bid conference does not qualify your company to bid.

As a result of the Mandatory Pre-bid meeting held on March 13, 2012, questions were submitted for clarification. The questions and the University’s responses are as follows:

1.  Ruhtab’s presentation included a slide with more detailed schedule information than what is included in the RFP, including a 75% submission, 90% submission, etc. that we were told must be adhered to at the pre-proposal meeting. Can you provide that slide (or at least the dates) for our reference, please?
